Turkey Bowl!

Note: Bethany told us she will find out on Saturday, Dec 1st if she will be transfered next week to a different area. We will get out her new address as soon as we hear.

Salut!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Glad to hear everything went well for you Mom and Dad. It's cool that there is a Missionary from Africa in Huntsville.

Whoo hoo! Skylar is home. Normally I say two years gone already!!!, But when you're actually on a mission, it's different. It's nice that he was home right before Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving was still great even though it wasn't traditional. We had District meeting and then ate a meal with our entire Zone. We couldn't find turkey of course so we had rotisserie chickens. I made brownies. It was a good time. Then we changed into our exercise clothes and played a Turkey Bowl football game for an hour. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It was funny how the French people kept stopping to watch the Americans play football their way. Just as we were ending some people stopped us and said we aren't allowed to play organized sports on that field. Sigh, France...haha!

We were invited to eat at a member’s house, but President told all missionaries that we couldn't do that because we already spent enough time doing Turkey Bowl stuff. However, our Ward Mission Leader invited us to do it next week.

Guess what! Delphine is baptized and confirmed!!!!! It happened in Bordeaux so I don't have pictures yet. Other great news is that her friend Mailys committed to be baptized next Sunday! We might not have time to teach her all of the discussions though, so we may have to move it back. It's really only sad because it would be after transfers. But I don't really mind as long as she is baptized.

Sadly, Severine dropped us. She couldn't commit to being baptized again and so we just promised her that if she followed the spirit that one day she would be ready. She was really nice about it all.

Short email today. Sorry ya'll!

P.S. I'm about to eat escargot for the first time!!!!!!!!

Pictures are the Thanksgiving meal and our trip to Chateau de Vincennes today. Such a pretty place. And the sun was shining!
